CHRYSANTHEMUMS
There is ' no hurry 'to ' get
c'hrysanthemurns into the :ground
as • there • is with most . of. the
other pereiu ials. ' These' free
flowering plants can be set 'out
an the !garden' as Y late' as, ° the
third week in June and; w. ill `sail:.
rov'id'e .your garden with lois.
'of •bloom this fall; ' .•.•
• One :of , the .!big dprof:iteims With
chrysanthemums, is.' the fact that
'those we grow in . our gardens
may 'be: .classed .as. ,hardy !perenT :
vials, 'but they aren't treated •as
•such,'4W.ith ordinary' 1erennials
you .go to, the nursery or garden
center and buy a goodsized
clump either ,wrapped or plant
ed d•n .a special container.-. On'the
�other..lzand, i�f you .were'.to show
the 'beginner. to gardening one
of the last year's Mums, with its
big . clump of ,green • growth, and
large number of roots; and;. a
'small ;single -stemmed rooted

-would : invariably buy the. big.

mistake ''because the only. way
you' can get Iood results each
year pis: to ' start -'with a 'squall,.

professional .florist uses in the.

'Tied over ,from 'last year's gar
den; now is the •tier e tO take
new cuttings. ,Coose 'these !from.
the ou,t-side of -the ,clump., Each

and some fibrous roots. It may
seem hard to , be11ev,e' that these.

fall, ,but nevertheless •. this is ab-
solutely as fact, .
.One of. the !big points to re
Member in ' •Ohoosing a . !location.
•for , ;chrysant'hemwns is ,their.
need for lots .of sunshine. , Keep
them ;away from shade at . all
;.costs. They will need • a . spot.
in •the garden ;where :the "sun
shines for at :1 t two-thirds -of

nearby • trees . to. rob them. ,of

uses in the garden. Try 'planting.
